This graphic novel workshop considers the place of the genre in the academic canon. For beginners and intermediates that either want to start reading or create graphic novels, this workshop will investigate the history and development of the graphic novel, will introduce essential "must read" graphic novels, and will explore possible benefits of using graphic novels as teaching tools. Additional topics covered in this workshop include graphic novels vs. comics, gender studies, and local graphic novel artists and writers. Opportunities for participants to create sequential art will also be included. Ages 17 and up.

Workshop will be led by assistant professor of English at Eastern Washington University, Dr. Sean Agriss.

The cost for any student with a current ID is $20 each. Student ID must be presented at the event. For all others, the cost is $30 each. Space is limited to 20 people per session, so pre-registration is recommended. (However, we will also allow day-of registration, as space allows.)
